Avoiding catastrophic failure of cable bolts in underground mines

这项工作的目的是找出导致井下高负荷电缆螺栓灾难性失效问题的原因，并制定抵抗其失效的策略。这项工作非常重要，因为澳大利亚各地的几个煤矿现在都有电缆螺栓失效的报道，预计这将成为一个世界性的问题。这项工作具有新颖性，因为它打算成为第一个关于电缆螺栓灾难性失效的研究。预期的结果是开发出经济上可行的解决方案，以避免灾难性的电缆螺栓故障。预计调查结果也将与土木工程部门有关。

This work aims to identify the factors responsible for the emerging problem of catastrophic failure of high-load cable bolts in underground mines and develop strategies for resisting their failure. The work is of high importance since failure of cable bolts is now being reported in several mines across Australia and is expected to become a problem world-wide. The work is novel as it intends to be the very first study of catastrophic cable bolt failure. The expected outcome is the development of economically viable solutions for avoiding catastrophic cable bolt failure. It is anticipated that the findings will also be relevant to the civil engineering sector.
